[1] Well you're back on my doorstep a--[4]-cryin'
Like I [1] cried for all those lonely [5] years
But I [1] can't dry your tears it's been too [4] long since love was [1] here
And I've already gave you [5] my [4] better [1] years

And so the pages of time kept right on [4] turning
They never [1] stopped for us to harvest the [5] years
And old [1] embers of love kept right on [4] dying
For there was [1] no one to [5] dry my [1] tears [4] [1]

But I'll try not to blame you I'll try not to shame you
All I can do now is wish you well
But if you should need a friend I'll be there 'til the end
Oh but don't ask me to love you again

And don't come back on my doorstep a-cryin'
Hoping for what's been dead so long
For the embers have long turned to ashes
There's nothing here but old memories and this song

No don't come back on my doorstep a-cryin'
My friend there's nothing but old memories and this song
